But New Yorkers don't like his plan to ban horse drawn carriages in the city.

"A majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents oppose banning horse drawn carriage rides," said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg. "So too do voers from every borough. Men and women, young and old, rich and poor, black and white, liberals and conservatives also all agree."

De Blasio is viewed favorably by 48 percent of New Yorkers, while 26 percent view him unfavorably. Twenty five percent say they don't know enough to have an opinion.

"Three months in office and for many New Yorkers the Mayor has not yet formed a firm impression. One-quarter of voters say they haven't heard enough about de Blasio to have either a favorable or unfavorable view of him," said Greenberg.

The poll includes good news for Governor Andrew Cuomo. Voters approve of his job performance by a 64 to 22 percent margin.
